Thank you. I see -- it seems like this is the default on Desktop as well. I understand the reasons for not changing this default on IDE (Defaults of saving and restoring workspace).
That said, these Workspace Global Option settings in a "template" project will not carry over to subsequent creations of new projects in the same space. I wonder if this is intended as well? (cc @Robby)
In my own work I also have set these settings to "No" and "Never", which is partly why I had forgotten how the default Restart worked. Here I am using the cloud in a teaching setting, and thought changing the default so that restart clears the environment would actually be preferable.
